All eyes on Manchin/Sinema/Tester/Romney

Swing votes.

Manchin represents red-leaning WV, he is not running again in 2024, he may run for governor, but he will be key here.

That means we need 4 republican votes. And 3 out of the 4 are Democrats.

It was surprising when he won reelection in 2018 despite voting for Kavanaugh.

Manchin will run for governor in 2024, but his vote to convict and remove Trump may harm him

But he will be someone to watch
